It was a wet morning in Greve in Chianti – too wet to be out hiking with camera gear, so I set up in the window of my hotel room and worked street scenes in the rain from the shelter of the room. (There is much to be said for “old-fashioned” hotels with opening windows.) Surrounding the central piazza in Greve is an arcade, allowing pedestrians to move between shops without getting wet, except for the need to cross open space at the corners of the piazza. My room overlooked one of these corners and I set up the camera on a tripod, preconceiving combining shots of people crossing below me with various color umbrellas. This image combines four of those shots. I also did some in-camera multiple exposures, but this composite created in Photoshop works better as I have greater control over individual layer opacity and masking.
